The art teachers at Mountain Home Public Schools are continuing a tradition that started years ago with Mrs. Beth Ivens, a retired art teacher legend. Each summer, prior to the beginning of the school year, all of the district art teachers submit a personal artwork to be displayed in the lobby of Dunbar Auditorium. Every couple months the works will be replaced by artwork from student artists across the school district.
Pictured: Mrs. Libby Posey (Pinkston Middle School), Mrs. Isabella Phares (Nelson-Wilks-Herron), Mrs. Christy Lawrence (Mountain Home High School), Mr. Steve Hargett (Mountain Home High School), Mrs. Dora Norcross (Hackler Intermediate School), Mrs. Leeanne Jackson (Hackler Intermediate School), and Mrs. Tilda Helgesson (Mountain Home Junior High).

OUTDATED RECORDS TO BE DESTROYED
The Mountain Home School District will be destroying all outdated special education and 504 records prior to June 2018. These records are maintained for six years after a student has graduated, dropped, or moved from the district. According to state and federal guidelines, these records should be destroyed six years after a student no longer receives special education or 504 services or records are no longer needed to provide services.
All parties (18 years of age or older) who were served in special education programs/504, or parents/guardians of those students, have the right to review and request the records before they are destroyed. The special education records are available for pickup at the Mountain Home Special Education Office at 1001 S. Main Street. 504 records are available to pick up at the Mountain Home Public Schools Central office at 2465 Rodeo Drive. All offices are open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If not requested, the records will be destroyed on July 5, 2024. Any questions or concerns regarding special education records may be addressed by calling (870)425-1247. In regards to 504, you may call (870)425-1201.
Families of MHPS students who were impacted by the recent tornados may qualify for support through local or federal sources. Please call Heather Hatman, the district’s Bridges Coordinator and McKinney-Vento representative, for more information. 870.421.0999
